In a pan, melt butter over medium to low heat; do not use high heat to avoid burning the butter.

Add milk to the melted butter and stir in nutmeg and flour; continuously stir to avoid sticking.

Add salt, white pepper, and oregano to taste; mix well.

Add chicken powder and fresh lemon juice, then mix again.

Add sliced mushrooms and mix thoroughly.

Grate parmesan cheese into the sauce, mixing until melted; check the spice level and adjust if necessary.
